As well, it is impossible to apportion any of any particular's goalie's performance to the goaltender themselves.

In other words, it's nobody's fault, and it's everybody's fault.
The thing is, it's a big problem (we're approaching historically bad numbers), and the Flames have to try something. It's extremely unlikely that the Flames will be able to trade for a starting-calibre goaltender mid-season, and there's been no evidence in three different coaching regimens to suggest that Sigalet can turn any goaltender who's not already an established (and young) starter into anything resembling one (with all due respect to Rittich, for whom I would say the jury is still out at this point). So the only thing that can likely be done in-season to address the elephant in the room is to find a replacement for the one individual who has been a common element in the entire debacle. Whether this will help is uncertain, but it's hard to imagine that it would make the problem any worse than it already is.
